1 For the music director, a contemplative song of the sons of Korah.
2 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God.
3 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and appear before God?
4 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all day: “Where is your God?”
5 These things I remember as I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng, walking with them to the House of God, with a voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a festival.
